Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 301 Happy News
"Little brother, you and Senior Brother Wang don't just sit at home and read books all day long, you have to relax properly, even if you don't like to go to those literature clubs, you should go out and have a sit and see this Jinling The scenery and people of the city, chatting with the scholars who are going to take the exam, tasting tea is also good, just right, I went shopping today and heard that the chief examiner of your class has come out! Little brother, hurry up, take Get the money, and get Senior Brother Wang to go out for a stroll, and listen to see if there is anything useful!"

Yu Su thought, it's just that this one of his family is not like many other scholars who don't study hard, just think about socializing and making contacts, and go to find out what exam questions, it is necessary for them to understand the main examiner's preferences, otherwise Meeting a strict and partial examiner, is it not finished for someone like my little husband?
As the start of the exam drew closer, the atmosphere in Jinling City became more and more tense.

Early this morning, when Yu Su and Song Xiahe went out to buy vegetables, they heard a lot of people discussing this matter. When they got home, Yu Su couldn't sit still anymore, and pulled out his little husband who was also a little nervous from the book to relieve him. The money bag at his lower waist was forced to pass by him, and Yu Su pushed him to find Senior Brother Wang, trying to drive the two of them out to relax.

When the others left, I went into the kitchen with my second sister. As a logistics support officer, in addition to making delicious meals for the two candidates every day, other things, such as purchasing the required items for the exam, taking the exam The delicious dry food he needed became Yu Su's important task.

After all, it would take ten days for Xianggong to enter that narrow grid, ten days!

Song Xinglin also knew the good intentions of his guest, and thought that the exam was about to start, so he should relax properly, so he took the money bag handed over by his wife, and greeted Wang Shuisheng to leave the house. There are many things about the chief examiner, some are true and some are false. The two judged and chose from them. After returning to the inn, they carefully considered and discussed with the scholars who had made good friends with the inn, and everyone had a score in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the time slipped to the day when the entrance examination started.

Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng took the exam baskets and bookcases that Yu Su and Song Xiahe had prepared for them, together with the husbands of the two sisters in the courtyard next door, the four of them set off early together, passed the inspection without any surprises, and finally stepped over. When entering the examination room, Song Xinglin was still waving his hands at Yu Su who was looking at him from a distance, not nervous at all.

Song Xinglin's funny appearance immediately made Ben feel depressed, and the two older sisters, who were worried about their husbands, burst out laughing, which relieved their anxiety and tension.

The four of them went back to the inn together. The next thing Yu Su and the others had to do was to wait, and wait until the gate of the Gongyuan opened ten days later, so that they could see the person they cared about.

In the past ten days, the people in the Gongyuan had to light lamps and cook oil, and Yu Su and the others outside the Gongyuan were also suffering day and night, and they didn't even eat well.

Song Xiahe unconsciously poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, "Second sister-in-law, do you think everything will go well for my brother and the others?"

Yu Su looked at the younger sister who was thinking of marrying, and knew that what she missed was not only her second brother, but Wang Shuisheng was the most important thing.

But yes, who wouldn't worry? As a cook, thinking of my little husband, she doesn't even taste good.

Yu Su pondered, shook his head, and shook his head again.

"I don't know either! But everything should be fine! After all, we went to Linggu Temple to ask for peace talismans for them all. Don't senior brothers and sisters wear the talismans you asked for? Don't worry, they will definitely It's okay, when the gate of the tribute courtyard opens, everything will come to fruition... Right now, second sister, you should eat well, we have to get enough energy, otherwise, when the gate of the tribute courtyard opens and your brother and the others come out, we I don't have the strength to greet them."

Song Xiahe thinks about it too, after all, the five days of the hospital exam are exhausted, and there are still ten days left, so he cheers up and works hard to cook.

Ten days of work, whether it is fast or slow, while all the family members of the students and scholars are waiting anxiously outside, finally, the time has come to the end of the day.

Yu Hui, Song Xiahe, and the two sisters next door arrived early. Even though the road was not far away, they rented a big carriage together for convenience. As usual, Yu Su even boiled a big pot of chicken soup and brought fried rice , the four of them waited anxiously outside the gate of the Gongyuan.

When the closed gate of the Gongyuan opened with a creak, and while everyone was rubbing their shoulders and stepping on their feet in anticipation, slowly, someone finally appeared inside the gate.

First one, then two, three or five, seven or eight...more and more, more and more.

Some people dragged their tired steps forward slowly;
Some were weak and supported each other in groups of three or four;
Some are in pairs, you pull me;
Some people walk slowly with relief;

In short, all the people looked disheveled, and none of them had a good-looking face, which is enough to show that the people in this township are hard-pressed.

Yu Su waited and waited, and finally, behind the crowd, he saw the duo supporting Senior Brother Wang but all of them looked disheveled, and the husbands of the sisters next door followed closely behind them.

The expressions of the four of them are not very good-looking, that is to say, the situation of my little husband is better, after all, he is a martial arts practitioner.

When they saw someone, they all went up to greet them, and hurriedly greeted them all to get on the carriage. Yu Su served fried rice with chicken soup that had skimmed off the oily smell one by one. The four of them ate two bowls without waiting to return. Arriving at the inn, on the way, the four of them fell asleep unknowingly.

After finally arriving at the inn, the four of them were woken up in a daze, and washed themselves clean with the hot water warmly brought up by the waiter in the inn. After cooking the noodles, Wang Shuisheng and Wang Shuisheng put down their bowls. The two people who love cleanliness stopped rinsing. They climbed into their own beds and fell asleep.

Once they fell asleep, they slept until the afternoon of the next day, and the two of them regained their energy.

When the four of them gathered for dinner in the evening, Yu Su asked, "Little Brother, Senior Brother Wang, are you just waiting for the imperial court to release the ranking?" As for the question of whether you can pass the exam? Yu Su didn't want to stop asking, After all, I have passed all the exams, and if I fail, I will read it later.

Sure enough, he rested for another ten days, and after ten days, the imperial court released the list.

This time they didn't go to the scene to read the list, because long ago, the sisters next door took Yu Su and Song Xiahe's hand and said that this place is no better than their hometown, the local gentry in Jinling, and the rich salt merchants in Huaiyang , I like to wait until the township tribute releases the list to come to the list to catch the son-in-law. The last time they came to accompany the test, I saw it with my own eyes and said that fortunately their husband-in-law did not go to high school at the time, otherwise...

Speaking of this, the sisters were still sighing at the time.

After hearing this, Yu Su thought, yes!
My little Xiang Gongbanban is so handsome, even the wheat complexion in the past, with the days of studying and not basking in the sun, has long been covered with white, I have worked hard to raise a small white poplar, but I can't It's cheaper for others to go.

Besides, this one of my family is still married. Although senior brother Wang is younger than this one, he is also gentle and handsome. Crossing the Ming Road, but they are all so interesting, they only need to pick out the engaged ones and say that they have to look after their brother-in-law for their own sister.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Su learned from the shopkeeper and the waiter in the shop that after the candidates won the first place, not only the red list will be posted outside the tribute courtyard, but also the yamen who want to please money to reward them will beat the gongs and drums. Announce the good news at their registered destinations.

After hearing this, Yu Su was not in a hurry, and put on a posture. On the day when the rankings were released, she simply set up a charcoal stove in the courtyard, set up a grill, and sat around the stove to talk and drink tea. She was quite leisurely. .

From the sound of the drums in the early morning, everyone waited until the sun rose into the sky, and when the outside of the Gongyuan must have been fried at this moment, everyone in the store paced back and forth anxiously, waiting a little too much. ,finally……

Fushun came, and finally the official messenger came to announce the good news.

Good news, good news...

"My lord, my lord! Good news is coming to our inn. It must be our Fushun Lai, who is a scholar from high school! My lord..."

Following the shout of the shop waiter at the door, the voice instantly cut through the tense silence.

In an instant, inside and outside the inn,

There are those who are waiting for news in their own houses;

There are those who sit in the courtyard expectantly and apprehensively;
There are those who simply can't wait to come to the hotel lobby and ask for a seat to sit down and wait;

Everyone was excited.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get ready all the firecrackers we have prepared in the store, and hurry up to light up the firecrackers who will announce the good news when they arrive. Put it hard, let it go, don't be stingy!"

Just kidding, it has been two seasons and seven years since they came to Fushun, and they have never met a master Juren. If they are lucky today, even if there is only one master Juren, that would be a great thing for them! A series of previous preparations, the shopkeeper shouted loudly amidst the noisy discussion, "There is still Xiqian, Xiqian, go to the back and bring the Xiqian I prepared..."

At this time, the shopkeeper is not stingy with the little happy money that is thrown away. After all, when he becomes popular, he will ask the newly promoted Master Juren to help the store to mention a word. This money will not be lost. If you are a high school Jinshi, be good...

In the beautiful imagination of the shopkeeper, the waiter in the shop responded beamingly and crisply, "Hey, okay shopkeeper, everyone is ready, don't worry." The shop was instantly busy.

By the time the yamen servants who announced the good news arrived at the gate of Fushunlai with the red case, beating gongs and drums, Fushunlai was already crowded with people and firecrackers were going off.

It is not uncommon for an official to announce the good news on this occasion. There is no change in expression on the face, only a high-pitched voice resounds outside.

"Report...Dayue Yongyuan fifty-eighth year Xianggong, Yuezhou Prefecture, Xiatongyang County, Wuzhong County, Pingshan Town, Yanshan Chongwang Shuisheng Master Wang, the first place in the second list of high school..."

With the sound, someone immediately rushed to the backyard to announce the good news to Wang Shuisheng. The shopkeeper was not annoyed when he saw it. Go to the small courtyard at the back.

Their Dayue dynasty has been passed down for three generations since the founding ancestor of the country. The current official family is good and powerful. He ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and took charge of the government at the age of eighteen. He has firmly controlled the court for forty years. Although there were ups and downs during the period, it was not without natural disasters and man-made disasters, but now it has firmly controlled the country. During the forty-six years, Dayue has developed rapidly.

In addition, the scientific examination was suspended before, and this subject was reopened. With a wave of the official's hand, it was an extra exception, adding [-] places for the third list. What a boldness it is to take a thousand moves.

Now this young Mr. Wang can still top the second list of high school, even if he is not in the first list, even if he is the [-]st in the whole list, that is still a very powerful existence.

You must know that generally those who can enter the first list are either the really amazing and brilliant people, or the children of those who are famous officials and noble families. If a student from a poor family can do this, it can't be said that he is not a genius.

Looking back, I will ask this Master Wang to give them a few words for Fushunlai. After all, this is the first place in the second list. As long as there are no accidents, the Jinshi is a proper one! At that time, I have to make a good statement It is not allowed to hang the rubbings on the city plaque in the hall.

The shopkeeper's heart was always happy, and he walked vigorously. Looking at the small courtyard crowded with people, and looking at the people who came to congratulate him one after another, the shopkeeper's calculations were shrewd. When Song Xiucai, the shopkeeper was still thinking about it.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Master Wang and Master Wang come in and out together. Looking at Song Xiucai who is also Zhong Min's beauty, will it also bring surprises to himself? After all, these two are inseparable!
If this Song Xiucai can also become Master Song...

Oh my god, the shopkeeper gets excited just thinking about it.

Not only he was excited, Yu Su and others who heard the good news were also excited.

It was a great joy for Senior Brother Wang to be able to go to high school. Yu Su watched the second younger sister who was crying with joy give rewards to the officials out of his own pocket, and then saw his own little husband who sincerely wished Senior Brother Wang high school, Yu Su was nervous and looking forward to it.

While waiting anxiously, they sent away the officials who announced the good news, and sent away those who came to congratulate them. The four of them huddled in the small courtyard and continued to wait anxiously. At this moment, around Jinling City, the sound of firecrackers from far and near began to explode. It kept ringing, and slowly slipped by as time passed...

Seeing that the sun was rising, none of them had the energy and time to go to eat, but Wang Shuisheng, who knew that he was already in high school, was also sweating for his junior at this moment.

After all, he came from the same school as Junior Brother Song, and he has a deep relationship. If he is the only one in the list and Junior Brother fails, he will have regrets and not be in a good mood.

Secondly... Wang Shuisheng glanced around and was already worried that his brother was gone, and he didn't pay attention to his little girl anymore, Wang Shuisheng sighed in his heart.

If the younger brother is not selected, will the younger brother be angry at himself for not agreeing to the marriage?
Just when everyone was worried and the sun began to gradually set to the west, the examinees, servants, and servants who had gone to look at the rankings outside the tribute courtyard all returned one after another. Everyone in the inn felt that there would be no more good news, and everyone was already disappointed. When I was no longer thinking about it, suddenly, the familiar sound of happy news came again...

"Report, good news, good news..."

The faces of the disappointed people were shocked, and they all looked at the movement coming from afar with joy in their eyes. They only heard the familiar voice and saw the familiar movement. They all padded their feet, stretched their necks, looking forward, looking forward to...
